THE ARMADILLO

This Pavilion was designed with the idea of bio-mimicry in mind. The armadillo's armour was analysed and a form was developed around it. Overlapping sheets were used to create a curvilinear organic surface protecting a waffle ply frame. The model was developed with Rhinoceros 3D modelling software and grasshopper to develop a form and waffle pattern that could be used to create a template for laser cutting and assembly.
